Unknown Error. Code : -2145124329
Hello, Why is Desktop Central detecting the PatchID 100682 (Bulletin MSWU-1154) as needed on my systems? Running Windows Update on these systems does not detect this patch as needed - neither as "Critical" nor as "Recommended" Attempting to deploy the patch to systems results in the status "Unknown Error. Code : -2145124329" What is going on??? Anthony

Java Updates Not Downloading Again....
This problem appears to have come up again. The links to the java updates lead to a page from Oracle that says a license agreement must be signed before download is permitted. So far the following two patch IDs are failing download. 301864 "Update for Java Runtime Environment (1.8.31)" 301866 "Update for Java Runtime Environment X64 (1.8.31)" We are on build 90108, and for a while the java patches were working. For whatever reasons, they suddenly quit in the last few weeks. A little bit about
Retry in progress - need more info
Can someone explain what "Retry in progress" means is when patch job is submitted. This particular job is sitting in that particular state since yesterday. I tried restarting server in question but no go. Patch remarks are having "The Stub received bad data". What should be my next move?
Retry failed downloads
My server often fails to download patches, and if I go in manually retrying failed downloads, eventually they succeed. Is there any way for the system to automatically retry failed downloads, or does it only try once? Thanks for your assistance.

Skype Uninstalled by Desktop Central?
Has anyone else seen Desktop Central uninstalling Skype? We've had multiple computers where Skype has been uninstalled, presumably while Desktop Central was trying to upgrade Skype. Has this happened to anyone else?
Patch Severity Rating appear to have recently changes
Microsoft products used to be the primary patches that had severity ratings. Java has showed up for a long time as Critical. Patches for products such as Chrome or FF used to be unrated. I now see that these patches are now rated. For example, Update for Google Chrome (40.0.2214.93) , Update for Skype (7.0.0.102), Update for Mozilla Firefox (35.0.1) are now rated as Critical. For several years, we have been carefully recording and tracking PC "healthy" with the Highly Vulnerable PCs defined

Patch detection for Adobe FLASH critical update 16.0.0.296?
Over the weekend Adobe released a new critical fix for their zero-day vulnerability CVE-2015-0311 and our machines that are online have updated themselves to v16.0.0.296 for the most part. Adobe says they'll be releasing the manual update sometime this week. I checked the Desktop Central vulnerability DB for updates this morning but there's no mention of the FLASH 16.0.0.296 update yet. Any ETA on this? It'd be nice to be able to push the update to any machines that are still missing it.
Four new false positives when MS .NET 4.5.2 (KB2901983) is installed
Windows 7 SP1 x64 workstations, Desktop Central build 90011. With the new MS .NET 4.5.2 (KB2901983) installed, Patch Management now reports four older MS .NET patches are missing: Patch 16466 Patch 16229 Patch 16231 Patch 16145 Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Adobe AIR 16.0.0.245 patch detection doesn't seem to be working
I see that the Adobe AIR 16.0.0.245 patch (300849) for Windows came out on January 12th, but none of our Win 7 SP1 workstations are showing that they're missing the patch -- they're all still running AIR 15.x. The Inventory reports are showing the correct information, but Patch Management doesn't seem to be detecting properly. Anyone else see this behavior? Our Desktop Central build is 90111. Thanks.

Cannot patch Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Service Pack 2 get No targets available
I can get inventory details, I can see what patches are needed, but when deploying a patch configuration, Execution Status says "No targets available" and the patch configuration never deploys. I have been able to patch previously on the server, it randomly stopped working. I've tried to reinstall the agent, but that does not solve the issue.
User interaction after Patching
Hello, Is there way a user can postpone hardware reset after the system is patched? As I understood, we can (though policy) give user number of minutes before system can reboot but user have no choice to postpone? Thanks, Zahid
Auto approve patches from a publisher?
Hello -- Is it possible to automatically approve patches for a particular publisher or software title? For example, I would like my clients to be as up to date as possible on Flash player. I don't want to have to go in to DC every month and approve the latest patches for Flash player.
Automatic Path Deployment
Hi, I was trying to configure automatic path schedule for updating group of servers. Is it possible to scan and download all missing patches in separate job and then have another job that installs these patches? Scanning and downloading takes time and I have pretty small time window for patching & rebooting these servers. It would help if I can just deploy patches inside the time window. Here are the options I have when configuring automatic path job: If I choose "Scan systems, download missing patches

New false positive for patch 100672 (MSWU-1150) on Win 7 SP1 and MS Office 2010
It looks like patch 100672 (MSWU-1150) was released on December 8th. All of our Win 7 SP-1 / Office 2010 workstations had been showing that it was installed or not needed. Suddenly this morning we have 68 machines (out of a total 180+) that are showing that they require the patch. On one of the affected machines, I tried manually installing the patch and was told it didn't apply to the system in question. Anyone else notice this behavior today? Thanks.
Cannot continue patching
I am using manual patching by selecting single or multiple computers and trying to patch, previously when I have the "draft download failed", I click on it and remove the failed patches and continue deployment and it successfully continues patching with the already downloaded patches, now its not doing that, it always displays draft download failed even I removed the failed patches. What is this problem. I am on the latest service pack and this problem appears on the newer version. Regards

Is there a way to deploy surface pro 2 and 3 firmware with desktop central? Since it comes from windows updates, we were hoping we could force this particular one, or prevent it.
Auto Patches Initiating Deployments Outside of Window
I have Automated Patches setup. It says Next Run Time : Today at 8:00pm and Current Status : Suspended. I went into the Policy and added an exception PC which needed to be skipped tonight. After saving it immediately started pushing patches at 10:00am. Why did it start pushing patches? The next run time was not until 8:00pm. Thank you, Cassie L Levett
Server patching with desktop central
Hello, We are trying to move our server patching from wsus to desktop central. However, we like that fact that we could start the update process directly from the servers manually. How can I get a similar behaviour with Desktop Central ? In other terms, I want to log on a server, execute something that will start the update process. Thank you for your help

Ability to handle Lenovo software updates
Hello Will Desktop Central ever have the ability to centrally deploy updates to systems running Lenovo software? Anthony
What am I not getting? Patch jobs very unstable
I have hundreds of machines to patch. If I create a job to install all the patches, and a single patch fails to download, the entire job fails and I am still stuck with hundreds of unpatched machines. I cannot take the time to go through and create individual jobs for each patch, or for each system. Creating a blanket job to patch all the systems is the easiest way. Except, it seems to be very unstable and the configuration job for the patch just QUITS if anything goes wrong. Is there not a
Patch Management information is not the same as in Configurations
Good Morning We have a customer which has a lot of issues on his Desktop Central, On of these issue he is having is regarding Patch Management, The Missing Patches section always is showing that the computers are missing about 1052 but this number never changes. At the same time on the configurations the number shows that about 80 to 90% of the patches were applied successfully. Client has the latest build with is 90087 and everytime we upgrade his issues on the application do not get fixed.
Deploy Immediately FIX
There is as far as i can see an issue with the option Deploy Immediately. If you have all the patches downloaded and ready - e.g. like a software deployment, then option to deploy immediately to a number of boxes works fine. But if there are patches to download - and the job has to wait until the Download In progress has finished, then the patches job is not started straight away, the boxes have to wait until a) MANUAL service restart b) MANUAL cfgupdate run c) up to 90 minutes for refresh. This
Segregate servers for patching
Hello, I have a question regarding Manage Engine's Patch management abilities. We have a group of 20 servers that would require us to approve any and all patches that are deployed to it. Can Manage Engine segregate those servers from the workstations that can all be automatically approved. I know that WSUS is capable of this, but it would be best to keep a consistent patch management system. Thank you.
patch scan problem
When trying to deploy missing patches I am receiving the message "No data available Reasons: The computer is not scanned for identifying the vulnerable patches. scan now" , even though it is displaying 180 missing patches for the pcs I am trying to deploy patches for, and the scan status has finished today successfully, when I try to scan again the page remains on scanning and is not finishing scan. I have the latest DC9 SP.
Use DFS as a Patch repository
Hi, We are in the process of deploying Desktop Central and we ran into a bit of an issue. We are using DFS replication for the Software and Patch repository. We have started replicating the DFS now to 2 of our sites for testing and we noticed that the patches are not being pulled from the DFS share by the agent but is getting it directly from the Desktop Central Server. We have a number of sites that we have to manage and we cannot push patches across the link during normal hours as the lines will

User prompted to "Click to skip reboot" but no button is present
After patches are installed using automated patch management, the user is given a countdown clock until restart. They are told that they have the option to "Click to skip reboot", but there is only a "Reboot Now" button. Users need a skip or delay reboot option, similar to Windows Updates, so they are not interrupted if they are working during the patch update window.
